- DR. ABE PEARLMAN tells us
about the patient who came into
his • Puritan Ave. yanking em-
porium with an ouching ache and
a dread of teeth-pulling . . .
When Abe mentioned that the
masticator must come out, the
fellow leaped from the chair and
yelled, "Drill it or do anything,
but please don't pull it!" . .. So
Abe got to work and when he
asked the nurse to ready an
anesthesia needle, the patient's
lips quivered . . "I'll have to
drill pretty deep, might hit the
nerve," said Abe . . . Then he
injected, and,. long, the
job was do1.4.0 When he arose,
the patient, ibis local anesthetic
about worn off, replied, "Say,
now it feels o.k. I'm sure glad
you didn't have to pull that
tooth, it's one thing I just can't
stand! . . . By the way, I won't
be seeing you for a while, just
got my papers." . . . Abe offered
his best wishes and said, "Here's
a little token to take along for
good luck. It's the tooth that
would have brought you bad luck
if I hadn't taken it out!"

Yiddish Courses at
Hillel Foundations

BROOKLYN, N. Y.—An Eng-
lish language anthology of Yid-
dish authors of the past 60 years
is being prepared by the Yiddish
Culture Society of the Bnai Brith
Hillel Foundation at Brooklyn
College as part of its regular pro-
gram of activities. These activities
include instruction in Yiddish un-
der a private tutorial system,
readings and discussions of the
works of Yiddish writers, produc-
tion of Yiddish plays and talks
by contemporary Yiddish authors.

STORRS, Conn.—To meet re-
quests from students who want to
converse with their Yiddish-
speaking parents who yearn to
write a Yiddish letter to their
grandparents and who are
anxious to read a Yiddish news-
paper, the Bnai Brith Hillel
Foundation at the University of
Connecticut this year added two
courses in Yiddish to its program
of Jewish history, the Jewish con-
temporary scene and Hebrew.
